Blame 9/11, blame Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer... hell, blame Wayne Gladstone if you really want to (he's probably the one responsible). Blame whatever person or terrorist attack makes you feel comfortable, but you know what? That's just making excuses. If this clip teaches us anything, it's that comedy used to be a lot funnier than it is today.

What ever happened to good comedy? When I turn on my TV, where's all the spinning bowties and squirting flowers? When I go to see the latest talkie, where's all the pie fights and men dressed up like ladies? When I go out for a night of dining and live entertainment, where's all the guys singing "Mule Train" while hitting themselves in the head with a metal tray?

Where's all the Kaiser Wilhelm jokes? I haven't heard a good Kaiser Wilhelm joke in years.
